    The room offered a modern, clean aesthetic with ample amenities, but I found the compact space somewhat limiting.

    comfy bed
    lovely staff
    chilly room

    The stay was grand, especially with the comfy bed and the lovely staff. I enjoyed the clean, basic room with all the essentials. But, oh, it was a bit chilly with the a/c not really warming the place. A good spot for a night, though!

    spacious rooms
    clean accommodations
    dining options

    Spacious, clean rooms provide a comfortable stay. Convenient delivery of breakfast to the room was a nice touch.

    Had an unfortunate experience with a power outage that left us sweltering at 35 degrees, compounded by locked windows. Dining options within walking distance are severely lacking, and the inability to order simple food like toasties during a busy service was frustrating. On top of that, face washers weren't provided unless requested, making the bodywash they supplied somewhat pointless.

    large rooms
    lack of cutlery
    inconvenient kitchenette

    The rooms are large and have been renovated well.

    I was disappointed with the lack of cutlery in the kitchenette, which made my stay less convenient. Shouldn't a fully equipped kitchenette come with basic utensils? It was inconvenient to have to request everything from reception, especially during my busy mornings. with no breakfast available, it left me scrambling for food options, which wasn't ideal.

    family-friendly atmosphere

    Our family enjoyed the spacious family room which was perfect for us with kids. The kids loved the on-site BBQ area surrounded by gardens, and we appreciated the convenient location close to nearby dining options. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs, making us feel welcome.

    spacious room
    comfortable bed
    attentive staff
    noise disruption

    This motel offers spacious rooms with a comfortable king-sized bed. The location is perfect, just a short drive from Newcastle, making it easy to get to the city. The staff were attentive and provided timely breakfast options that were good and plentiful. accessing the suite was a bit challenging due to multi-levels without elevators. Noise from the commercial water heaters disrupted our sleep at times, starting up throughout the night. The kitchen lacked basic utensils, which was inconvenient.

    great staff but noisy at times

    The staff were friendly and attentive. breakfast options provided were tasty and timely. The king-sized bed offered excellent comfort, and I especially appreciated the garden view that added a lovely touch to my stay.

    Traffic noise became noticeable during certain times of the day.

    comfortable room
    undercover bbq area
    stair navigation issue
    limited dining options
    inaccessible room assignment

    The stay featured a modern, comfortable Twin Room, impressively clean and fresh. A highlight was the undercover BBQ kitchen area, perfect for a relaxed evening, though the absence of restaurant dining options was a downside. A significant inconvenience was navigating the many stairs. a request for fewer stairs went unheeded. it satisfies a traveler’s needs for a brief, comfortable stop near the airport but could improve in accessibility.

    A Hidden Gem for Relaxation and Exploration!

    Our stay exceeded expectations! The comfy Economy Queen Room offered a serene space to unwind. We loved the BBQ area, surrounded by gardens, perfect for evenings. Nearby dining options were good—we enjoyed tasty takeaway from local spots. Pro tip, inquire about local bus routes to enhance your visit.
